The Arcade Random Thoughts Thread

Yea I rarely ever go into the PlayStation store because I have to load it up. I hear about everything through the interweb.

As much as everyone has a problem with the New XBL experience they're doing the marketing right.

The whole playstation interface is whats wrong. They need to integrate the store into the dashboard or whatever its called. When i fire up my xbox i see a big ass add for a new game, demo, movie or whatever. Sorry Sony you can't compete with what Xbox is doing.

I'm not a fanboy btw.

Agreed. But of course MS takes it about 1000 times too far with all of their ads.

Man, Ignition was so not worth the Dead Space 2 bonuses. What a horrific comic/story, and an even worse "game" (not entirely sure it can even be called that).

How was this made for a fucking console yet the Dead Space on my Android looks and plays 1000 times better? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

I probably would not have played Ignition if it didn't come free with my pre-order of Dead Space 2.

I wouldn't have played it if it didn't have trophies.

The worst part was that I had to play through multiple times to get all of them. Ugh. I'm such a whore.

What about Extraction? That's actually good.

I am still trying to figure out why I bought it after the fact. This is why we don't get drunk and hop on XBL afterwards.

So I'm completely done with SR3, at least until the next DLC comes out. I popped in SR2 and wow, does it look drastically different. I can only imagine how SR1 looks. I'm sure Brnt is right about his observations.

I want to play the Ultor Exposed DLC that I got on sale a while back but haven't played yet. I also noticed that I only have 275/1000 GS in that game. WTF? I need to get on that shit.

My gaming backlog:

Multiplayer matches on Halo: Anniversary

Arkham City

The Old Republic

Command and Conquer 4

Battlefield 3 on PC and 360 campaign

Brink

Fallout: New Vegas

Crysis 360 arcade campaign

DarkStarOne: Broken Alliance

Forgot that I had Crysis that I downloaded on the 360, so I just finished that last night. Pretty epic final boss fight- was a bit frustrating until I found the rocket launcher pile. Very interesting game, and I love the nano suit concept.

Any thoughts on what I should play next?

The fact that you've put no time toward Arkham City disheartens me.

You get to fight a shark... why put that off?

I bought it on sale, but I took awhile to play Arkham Asylum as well. I also like to play a game all the way through on single player with few interruptions. I did forget about Crysis though, and I try to avoid that.

It's not so much a fight as it is Batman peckerslapping a shark...but yeah, I still agree.

I hear you on that.

I sat through Mercs 2 the week or so that I got it.

I'll never Plat it (who cares Twigg), but the simple 'revenge through contract killing' story kept me engaged.

If Crysis went down to $15 or even $10, I'd take a look at it...

[Twigg4075]

I played through the first Ultor Exposed mission in SR2. Man is that game much harder than SR3. Plus the controls are jacked! A for gas and X for brake? Left Trigger for hand brake? RB for sprint? WTF?

That's what I was talking about with weird controls in SR1. Who uses A to accelerate in any other 360 game?

Grand Theft Auto III and Vice City Rated for PS3

If you've been dying to play Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City with a DualShock 3, you might be in luck. The ESRB has rated both GTA games "mature" for the PlayStation 3; this is usually the telltale sign that the game in question is headed to the PlayStation Network as a download. No official announcements have been made, but keep your eyes peeled for these titles in the coming weeks. Thanks to Joystiq for the tip.
